Definitions
- This invention relates to a magnetic recording medium and more particularly, it is concerned with an improved magnetic recording medium having an S/N ratio increased in high density recording.
- the recording density as defined above becomes high, the output decrease due to self-demagnetization (decrease of the residual magnetization by a self-demagnetization field acting in a direction to negative the self-magnetization between N and S poles formed by the self residual magnetization, which is increased with the decrease of the distance between the N and S poles) is not so large if the recording wavelength is smaller than the thickness of a magnetic layer, and the high density recording is effective with a recording wavelength of 1-2 microns or less.
- a magnetic tape having a two layer structure using acicular magnetic particles with a large length/width ratio has hitherto been known wherein in the lower layer, the particles are oriented in parallel with the surface of the support and in the upper layer, they are oriented vertically to the surface to thus raise the short wavelength sensitivity.
- the acicular particles tend to fall down to be in parallel with the surface with the decrease of the thickness due to vaporization of a solvent during drying. This tendency is increased with the degree of anisotropy, i.e. with the increase of the length/width ratio.
- a magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support and two or more magnetic recording layers superposed thereon in which ferromagnetic particles are dispersed in a binder, characterized in that the ferromagnetic particles of the outermost magnetic layer are given a main magnetic anisotropy by a magnetic annealing treatment and the direction of the magnetic anisotropy is vertical to the recording surface.
- the inventors have noticed that particles are given a uniaxial anisotropy by magnetic annealing in addition to the shape anisotropy and this technique is available for a magnetic recording medium with a multilayer structure in such a manner that the direction of the magnetic anisotropy by magnetic annealing be vertical to a recording surface, and have reached the present invention.
- the present invention provides a magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic support and two or more magnetic recording layers containing ferromagnetic particles dispersed in a binder, in which the ferromagnetic particles of the outermost magnetic layer are given a main magnetic anisotropy in the vertical direction to the recording surface by a magnetic annealing treatment.
- the ferromagnetic particles are cubic particles with a length/width ratio of 2 or less.
- ferromagnetic particles are subjected to a magnetic annealing treatment which consists in placing a ferromagnetic powder in a magnetic field at a high temperature and cooling gradually while applying the magnetic field thereto, whereby to give a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in the direction of the applied magnetic field, as described in Soshin Chikakado: "Kyojiseitai no Butsuri (Physics of Ferromagnetic Substance)" page 254-267, published September, 1959 by Shokabo.
- various materials are known such as ferrites, Fe-Co, Fe-Ni alloys and the like, and in particular, Co-doped ferrites show a more remarkable magnetic annealing effect.
- Those containing Co in a proportion of 0.3 to 30% have a higher coercive force in proportion to the content of Co and exhibit a magnetic annealing effect at a relatively low temperature, e.g. 200°-300° C. or less, whereby the magnetic anisotropy appears under ambient conditions at room temperature.
- the size of a particle to be subjected to a magnetic annealing treatment is preferably 2 microns or less and the shape thereof is not particularly limited.
- the particle size is preferably 0.3 micron or less and the shape thereof is preferably oval to cubic with a length/width ratio of about 1.
- the temperature and period of time for effecting a magnetic annealing treatment depend upon the amounts of Co, Fe ++ and other additives and the history of a product, but in general, they can respectively be determined experimentally so as to increase the squareness ratio (Br/Bm) of BH curve.
- the temperature for magnetic annealing is 50°-300° C., since if lower than 50° C., the merit achieved by the magnetic annealing effect according to the present invention tends to be decreased with the passage of time.
- the magnetic annealing treatment is carried out under powdered state and thereafter, the treated powder is dispersed in a binder, coated and then subjected to an orientation treatment in the vertical direction to the surface.
- the magnetic annealing treatment can be carried out while applying a magnetic field vertical to the surface of a magnetic recording medium after coated and dried.
- the magnetic annealing treatment according to the present invention is preferably carried out under the following conditions:
- cooling speed gradual, e.g. about 1° C./min
- the magnetic orientation treatment of ferromagnetic particles in the vertical direction to a recording surface is effectively carried out in a DC magnetic field by a permanent magnet, electromagnet or solenoid optionally with superposing an AC magnetic field or with using jointly ultrasonic wave.
- the lower magnetic layer of the present invention has a coercive force similar to or less than that of the uppermost magnetic layer and is oriented so as to be magnetized in a recording direction, i.e. longitudinally in general, but circumferentially in the case of a disk-shaped magnetic recording medium.
- the magnetic powder used in the lower layer is so chosen that the reproducing output at a low recording density (such that the minimum unit of recording exceeds approximately the thickness of the upper layer) may be held high.
- particles having a length of more than 0.3 micron and a large length/width ratio are preferably used, but of course, it is possible to use particles which are given a large magnetic anisotropy by the effect of a magnetic annealing treatment and oriented in a recording surface or recording direction. In this case, the particles need not always have a large length/width ratio.
- three or more magnetic recording layers can be provided in the magnetic recording medium of the present invention.
- ferromagnetic particles used in the lower layer of the present invention are ferromagnetic fine powders of ⁇ -Fe 2 O 3 , Co-doped ⁇ -Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , Co-doped Fe 3 O 4 , Co-doped Fe 3 O 4 , Berthollide compounds of ⁇ -Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 (FeO x : 1.33 ⁇ x ⁇ 1.50), Co-doped Berthollide compounds of ⁇ -Fe 2 O 3 and Fe 3 O 4 (FeO x : 1.33 ⁇ x ⁇ 1.50), CrO 2 , Co-Ni-P alloys, Co-Ni-Fe alloys, Co-Ni-Fe-B alloys, Fe-Ni-Zn alloys, Fe-Mn-Zn alloys, Fe-Co-Ni-P alloys and Ni-Co alloys.
- the ferromagnetic particles used in the outermost layer can be also used in the lower layer
- a non-magnetic binder for dispersing ferromagnetic particles and a support should be made of materials capable of resisting a high temperature, in general, 100° to 300° C. required for a magnetic annealing treatment.
- Suitable binders which can be used in the present invention include hitherto known thermoplastic resins, thermosetting resins and mixtures thereof.
- Suitable thermoplastic resins are those which have a softening point of about 150° C. or lower, a mean molecular weight of about 10,000 to 200,000 and a degree of polymerization of about 200 to 2,000, for example, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, vinyl chloride-vinylidene chloride copolymers, vinyl chloride-acrylonitrile copolymers, acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymers, acrylate-vinylidene chloride copolymers, acrylate-styrene copolymers, methacrylate-acrylonitrile copolymers, methacrylate-vinylidene chloride copolymers, methacrylate-styrene copolymers, urethane elastomers, polyvinyl fluoride, vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile copolymers, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers, polyamide resins, polyvinyl butyral, cellulose derivatives
- thermosetting resins have a molecular weight of about 200,000 or less as a coating solution and when heated after coating and drying, the molecular weight becomes infinity due to reactions such as condensation, addition and the like.
- preferred resins are those which do not soften or melt before the resin thermally decomposes.
- these resins are phenol resins, epoxy resins, polyurethane hardening type resins urea resins, melamine resins, alkyd resins, silicone resins, acryl based reactive resins, epoxy-polyamide resins, mixtures of high molecular weight polyester resins and isocyanate prepolymers, mixtures of methacrylic acid salt copolymer and diisocyanate prepolymers, mixtures of polyesterpolyols and polyisocyanates, ure-formaldehyde resins, mixtures of low molecular weight glycols, high molecular weight diols and triphenylmethane triisocyanates, polyamide resins and mixtures thereof, etc.
- binders can be used individually or in combination with each other and other additives can be added to the binders.
- the mixing ratio by weight of a ferromagnetic powder and a binder is 10 to 400 parts by weight, preferably 30 to 200 parts by weight of the binder to 100 parts by weight of the ferromagnetic powder.
- additives such as dispersing agents, lubricants, abrasives, antistatic agents and the like can be added to the magnetic recording layer.
- Suitable dispersing agents are fatty acids containing about 12 to 18 carbon atoms represented by the general formula R 1 COOH wherein R 1 is an alkyl group containing about 11 to 17 carbon atoms, for example, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, muristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, linolic acid, linolenic acid, stearolic acid and the like; metallic soaps comprising the alkali metal (Li, Na, K etc.) salts or the alkaline earth metal (Mg, Ca, Ba, etc.) salts of the above described fatty acids; and lecithin, etc.
